Lucien Potronat
French (b. 1889), O/C, 18” (H) x 22” (W), Signed l/l

Lucien Potronat was a painter with a style far in advance of his time. This painting, made about 1950, reflects a style more typical of the 1980s. Born in Lyons in 1889 where he studied art, he later moved to Paris where he began exhibiting and by the end of World War I he was a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, where he occasionally used the pseudonym Jacques Warner. From the late 1930s he lived and worked on the French Riviera, fascinated by the light and warmth of the area. His subject matter was usually the landscape of the coastline around him and his paintings regularly depicted the whitewashed villas with trailing bougainvillaea and the distinctive blue of the Mediterranean Sea rising to meet azure skies.
